Egmont Palace, Diplomatic palace in Sablon, Belgium.
The Egmont Palace stands with its neoclassical architecture, featuring grand marble staircases, ornate galleries, and multiple ceremonial rooms within its stone walls.
Built in 1548 by Countess Francoise of Luxembourg, the palace underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1892 under the direction of architect Octave Flanneau.
The Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs uses this palace for international conferences, diplomatic receptions, and meetings with heads of state from around the world.
While the interior remains closed to public visits, guests can explore the surrounding gardens and admire the exterior architecture from Place du Petit Sablon.
The palace hosted fencing competitions during the 1920 Summer Olympics and later became the founding location of the international Egmont Group in 1995.
